(iii) Between South and Southeast Asia (The Bridgehead- linking India’s Northeast, Myanmar and Southeast Asia; Connectivity to ASEAN; Myanmar and China; The Indian Perspective)

(iv) Myanmar and the International Community (USA, EU and the West)

(v) Moving Forward: A Summary of Recommendations

Objectives of the Conference:

– The various stakeholders and participants from Myanmar to explain their vision and perspective on priorities for Myanmar in the coming years

– How do they visualise Myanmar moving ahead towards achieving these priorities, and what help, if any, do they need?

– The collective of these views will bring out the logic and importance of in-country follow up activities in identified sectors, which could include institutional collaborations for human resource development, IT (information technology), trade and infrastructure development.

– One practical outcome would be to visualise how Myanmar could achieve its objectives by serving as an economic bridge between India’s North East, Bangladesh and Southeast Asia.
